A story of illusion and disillusionment, in Conjunctions

As I continue to work on a collection about con artists, both witting and unwitting, one of those stories has appeared in this fall’s issue of Conjunctions. “The Visible World” is about an enchanting hoax that lasted nearly a lifetime and the supposedly simple village girl behind it. She may be a great unrecognized artist, but if she reveals her genius, the illusion she created will crumble.

You can read the story here.

Or, better yet, order the full issue of Conjunctions.
